This is a fatal matter. The sudden strong wind has influenced the victory or defeat of the war between Song and Liao and Song and Xia more than once. The trend between Liao and Xia was also determined by a strong wind and sand...

The Tubo people in the wind and sand were defeated and turned around and ran away. All the Song army had to do was chase, chase them until 0 miles away, beheading 416 people, and captured more than a thousand people. Last year, the lord of Bajin City and the chief of Miaochuan of Tubo, Doroba, escaped unknown whereabouts. The Song army then withdrew their troops and returned to the camp. There was only one incident after that. The Song army sent a team of 10,000 cavalry to chase Xishaluosa, and even if they were at the end of the world, they would still catch him!

Afterwards, it was proved that this task was too difficult, and Xisheluosa could really run away. He first ran to the city of Zong Ge in the chaos, trying to get in and continue to defend. But the subordinates in the city betrayed him and did not open the city at all! Xisheluosa quickly ran to the next stop - Qingtang City. This was the last stronghold of Tubo in Hehuang. The most noble Tubo leader lived in. His father Xibawen would always take him in? But he was greeted by Datioxu, his father, the capital of the Tubo people... and he also abandoned him! Xisheluosa, who had reached this point, still did not give up and ran into Xilanzong Mountain beside Qingtang City with his confidants, preparing to fight guerrilla for a long time and spend the rest of his time with the Song Dynasty. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived, the Song army chased him up, and turned from Qingtang Mountain to Xilanzong Mountain to encircle him.

At this point, Xisheluosa did not surrender yet. He left Qingtang area and ran into Qinghai Lake area... The place was too far, too desolate, too remote. The Song army had no choice but to withdraw the team...

At this time, the Tubo princess in Zongge City opened the city gate and surrendered to Wang Hou and Tong Guan.

On the 10th, the leader of Shengzong, Siji, came to surrender. On the 11th, the army entered Aner City.

On the 1st, the army rushed to the city of Qingtang. The king of Tubo, Xibawen, had already fled, and was unknown. Princess Qing Yijiemu of Kucha, Chief Li Hewen, together with the chiefs of all sizes in the jurisdiction, guaranteed to be subjects of the Song Dynasty for generations...

On the 1st, the army captured Lin Jincheng.

On the 16th, Wang Hou finally marched to Guzhou, which was the most marginal area of ​​Xihe Road. He thought he would fight another tough battle, but maybe these people would rush into Xixia? In that case, if the Western Army of the Song Dynasty wanted to chase in, they would have to turn against the Dangxiang people in advance?

It's not easy to deal with? But when Wang Hou and Tong Guan rushed into Guzhou and met the enemy, the whole army suddenly burst into laughter. It was so messy that they saw a circle of gauze wrapped around their heads, wrapped tightly, and basically they couldn't tell what they looked like. This man raised his hands high and surrendered, and shouted slogans from a distance, "I'd like to repay the Tokyo official family for the rest of my life." The rest of my life was to serve the Song Dynasty emperors in Kaifeng City loyally...

The man's name is Luo Shi, and he is the chief of Guzhou. He was fierce and domineering before, and was the best friend of Xisheluosa. He actively participated in the resistance to the Song army. As a result, he was cut off by the Xihe army during the Battle of Zongge City and escaped back to his hometown for a lifetime. At this time, he saw his opponent chasing and slashing into the doorstep of his house, and immediately made up his mind and stopped playing no matter what he said!

On the 18th, Wang Hou's army entered Guzhou and officially reported victory to the court. The second phase of the second Xihe River border was successfully concluded! The Song army used nearly one year to wipe out the Tubo of Hehuang tribes, and uprooted the descendants of Yesluo! The Qingtang Tubo regime was destroyed! Wang Hou's campaign, with a total of 6 battles, won more than 10,000, and surrendered more than 700,000 leaders of each tribe, with more than 700,000 households, and expanded the territory for more than 1,000 miles. At this point, the northwest of the Song Dynasty was in the northwest, bordering Xixia in the southeast, reaching the border of Qinghai and Kucha in the west, and the border of Lugan, and the southeast to Xi, He, Lan, Minzhou, and connected with Jie and Chengzhou.

On the day, the Lecture and Discipline Office was dismissed, and at the same time issued an edict to praise the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. Wang Hou was promoted to the Wusheng Army's Resident Resident Envoy, Xihe Road General Strategy and Pacification Envoy. Tong Guan was appointed as the envoy of Jingfu Palace and Xiangzhou Observation Envoy.

On the 7th, Wang Hou led the Western Army of the Song Dynasty to cross Huangzhou, cross the Lanzhou River, and patrol the border on the southeast of Xixia, and reorganized the army and returned to the country. Along the way, the army was in full swing, and the people of Xixia were in seclusion!

Tong Guan is going to return to China. After reporting his duties to Song Huizong, he lay on a huge map. This map is the border between Song and Xia. It changes at any time and will be revised almost every 10 years! There is no way, every war before Song and Xia will change the national border! Tong Guan now wants it to be revised again!

On May 5, because of the recapture of Xihe Road and the destruction of Tubo, Song Huizong sent princes to pay tribute to Taimiao, and sent attendants to sacrifice to the country and the tombs. On the 7th, Prime Minister Cai Jing was granted the title of Sikong and Duke of Jiaguo. On the 8th, Xu General, Zhao Tingzhi, Wu Juhou, An Duke, Cai Bian and other prime ministers were transferred to three officials. On the 1st, Qingtang City was renamed Xiningzhou again on the basis of the first name of Shanzhou, hoping that the northwest will be peaceful forever...

On June 17, Yuanyou, Yuanfu and Xie were merged into a list: the prime minister included 7 people including Sima Guang, 49 people including Su Shi, 176 people including Qin Guan, 5 people including Wu ministers, 9 people including Liang Weijian, and 9 people including ministers including Liang Weijian, and 09 people including ministers: Wang Gui, Zhang Dun... a total of 09 people! Carved stone courts, exiled from the country, and never turned over! On the 1st, the list of traitors of these 09 people was issued to all prefectures and counties, and stones were carved in front of the government offices of each prefecture and county as a warning! At this point, Cai Jing finally ended the Song Dynasty party struggle, which was ranked alongside the Ming party struggle and became a nightmare in the hearts of the rulers... but the price was huge: it was the demise of the Northern Song Empire, the unprecedented shame of Jingkang!

At this time, eunuch Tong Guan, who was standing in front of the Song Xia map, saw an unprecedented good situation! After the Song Dynasty recaptured Xihe Road, it threatened the Hexi Corridor of Xixia with Xihe Road; in addition, after the victory in Pingxia City, the Fuyan army had occupied the Hengshan Mountains, which were equal to the 16 states of Yanyun, and could look down at Xiazhou; the Jingyuan army had also occupied Tiandu Mountain, where the Xixia Palace was located, and could be directly approaching Xingqing Prefecture, the capital of Xixia! It can be said that the geographical barriers of Xixia from Li Jiqian's start-up to more than 90% of the Xixia Kingdom relying on Li Yuanhao to establish his country were no longer in the hands of Xixia, but in the hands of the Song Dynasty!

Tong Guan continued to derive the winning and losing records of the two armies in the field battles of the Song and Xia wars over the past 60 years. There is no doubt that the Song army also had an absolute advantage! It can be said that if it weren't for the weather, the five-way attack on Xia during the Shenzong period could have destroyed the Western Xia Kingdom! If Song Zhezong hadn't been seriously ill, Xixia would have been destroyed after the victory in Pingxiacheng!

So what are you waiting for? A huge plan was created in Tong Guan's mind. He privately colluded with his close friend Cai Jing, and the two made a decision - to send troops to Xixia!

This shows Tong Guan's nature. He is not his teacher Li Xian. When Eunuch Li lives in the military, he always demands himself by the standards of a soldier. He leads the way on the battlefield and never participates in politics in peace. But Tong Guan is not like this! He is a person with three ideals and one conscience. It should be said that this is quite rare. It often makes people excited and even feel warm. But the key is that there are six differences left. What is that? The answer is selfishness! This leads to his resistance to the order when pacifying Hehuang! Even being able to act as a vanguard for the entire army and rushing to the forefront is also a manifestation of his personal desires...

For example, when he proposed to attack Xixia at this time, putting aside whether the Western Army of the Song Dynasty needed to rest, it depends on the situation in Xixia? After all, the Liang group was destroyed, and Xia Chongzong was very respectful to the Song Dynasty, and the country gradually recovered unity. Is this a good time to start a war? But Tong Guan didn't care, he needed greater victory and pushed him to the peak of power that eunuchs in previous dynasties had not reached!

As for Cai Jing? He also changed. From the beginning, he just wanted to survive in the party struggles and enjoy life safely, to the moment he was safe and quiet and thoughtful. After all, he had the same problem as all the superiors - his butt determines his brain! When the seats are different, his thoughts have changed. When there is no painful lesson, he only knows to keep making trouble...

In October, the first step, Cai Jing ordered Wang Hou to surrender the famous general Renduo Baozhong...

The reason is very sufficient. Wang Hou wiped out Hehuang and was in Xixia within one year. It was a time when he was famous and arrogant. Renduo Baozhong was a famous general in Xixia and had the highest status. After all, his father was the God of War in Xixia back then. He broke through Yongle City and caused the death of 00,000 people in the Song Dynasty! Well, of course, Renduo Lingding seemed to have been cut off by the Song army. Speaking of which, Mr. Renduo Baozhong and the Song Dynasty have deep hatreds. But if he could successfully surrender and pull him to the side of the Song Dynasty, the impact would be extremely far-reaching...

After receiving the order, Wang Hou, the son of Wang Shao, was very depressed. He wanted Prime Minister Cai to come to the frontier for on-site inspection and understand the actual situation. Renduo Baozhong is very famous and currently has a high position. He is the Zhuoluo right-wing military supervisor of Xixia, in charge of the front line commander. If he could really bring him over, he would probably bring a large number of material personnel on the frontier... But the actual situation is different. Now that the Liang group has been destroyed, Renduo Baozhong, as a famous royal general of the Western Xia family, was under the Shan Enhaide of the little emperor of Xixia Li Qianshun, who could be surrendered?

Wang Hou wrote many letters to report the situation truthfully, which made Cai Jing furious. You are just a front-line general, just working hard and being cannon fodder. Who asked you to take charge of strategic arrangements and international situations? Do you do whatever you want! It doesn’t matter if your father Wang Shao was a colleague of the new party back then, and he had already removed you from his post and returned to China to investigate and investigate! Do you think it’s awesome to win a battle?

Wang Hou had no choice but to send his younger brother to come forward and sneak into Xixia to contact Renduo Baozhong. But Wang's younger brother was caught by Xixia patrol soldiers on his way back... The matter was exposed, and Wang Hou wrote to Cai Jing again, saying that from then on, Xixia would never guarantee Renduo Zhong's military power again, so what's the use of surrendering him? It's just a man...

Cai Jing replied: You are the ordinary man, and you don’t know the meaning of this matter at all! This is not military merit, it is political achievements!

After many twists and turns, Renduobaozhong finally succeeded in surrendering. The news came, and Kaifeng was in full bloom. Cai Jing and Tong Guan wrote a memorial to report good news to Emperor Huizong of Song, saying that this was the son of Renduolingding, the mortal enemy of Yongle City. Successfully surrendered was of great value. The entire Xixia area was shocked and the morale of the army was scattered. We should strengthen our operations in one go, implement the policy of surrendering and disintegration in all frontiers, destroying the Xixia army, and then launch a large number of troops, just like dealing with Hehuang Tubo, and wipe out Xixia for up to two years!

What a grand plan, Zhao Ji was excited to hear it. My dear friends are so dedicated and patriotic. I approved it! Tao Jiefu is one of the people who are responsible for Shaanxi and 5 routes in Hedong! And another selling point, whoever surrenders an enemy is equivalent to winning a head in front of the formation...

When the defenders from all over the border heard this, their eyes suddenly shone. What is this good thing? They raised a large sum of silver and sold their official positions to the people of Xixia. As long as they came over, they would be legal subjects of the Song Dynasty. They would no longer have to rely solely on green salt and livestock...

This move works very well. Many Western Xia soldiers defected for a while. But the sequelae are also terrible. This is a naked provocation! No matter how cowardly Xia Chongzong wants to get close to the Song Dynasty, he cannot bear it! An emperor has his own bottom line!

The Xixia army dispatched to retaliate on Fuyan Road, Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road and other places. The biggest action occurred at Jingyuan Road. On the 18th, the Xixia army surrounded Pingxia City in large numbers. Zhao Huaide, the governor of Hexi (the former Tubo leader who had just been renamed, and Long Jian, the son of Muzheng), immediately surrendered. After the Xixia people plundered the Zhenrong Army, the most important military stronghold of Jingyuan Road, and then colluded with the former city lord of Bajin City, Doroba, and counterattacked Shanzhou, which had just been recovered by the Song Dynasty! This was too sudden! The Xihe Army responded to the battle and was defeated. Gao Yongnian, the governor of Shanzhou, was captured. Later, at the suggestion of Doroba, the Tubo king Xisheluosa, who was chased by the Song army, took advantage of this opportunity and emerged from somewhere. Xiheluosa, once again fell into crisis...

When the news came to Kaifeng, Zhao Ji was furious. While gathering the entire Western army to attack Xixia, he held the responsibility and asked the Tubo people to bite him back? Zhao Ji personally wrote to Hedong, Liu Zhongwu, the generals of 5th Shaanxi, including 18 people, including Liu Zhongwu, and the generals of 5th Shaanxi. He sent the censor Hou Meng to Qinzhou, and took it on the spot and killed him on the spot! Hou Meng arrived in Qinzhou, and Liu Zhongwu and others surrendered. While comforting, Hou Meng wrote to Song Huizong, "The killing of Wang Hui by Emperor Wu of Han is not as good as the pardon of Duke Mu of Qin. Today, the Tubo people killed one of our generals, and our Song Dynasty will kill another 18 generals? This kind of thing that makes the relatives feel sad and the enemy happy cannot be done." Song Huizong pardoned 18 people without killing them. Only the commander of the Western Army, Wang Hou, was implicated and demoted to Yingzhou Tuanlian Envoy...

The Song Dynasty mobilized nationwide. Every time the war started with Xixia, it was the whole country to support the northwest. Every time, no matter whether it won or lost, it would hurt the vitality of the rear. People's hearts were very turbulent for a while...
